Education

None more so than at the University of Glasgow where our teams have constructed four significant buildings for academia, including the new Research Hub, a multi-level laboratory facility. This five-storey concrete civil structure with a basement has been specifically designed to provide state-of-the-art facilities for 600 PhD students, academics and postdoctoral researchers.

The 14-acre development of academic and business facilities at Imperial College’s White City campus saw our team deliver a sheet-piled retaining wall to the London Underground Limited (LUL) Central Line boundary, piled bridge abutments, a bridge deck over the line, demolition of a highway bridge, construction of a new highway network into the existing highway, substantial utility installations and diversions, a secant-piled basement box and extensive hard and soft landscaping.

Such is our level of detailed planning, methodology and commitment to minimising disruption to live education environments, at University College London our team successfully undertook complex demolition works within metres of the physics department carrying out highly sensitive nanotechnology experiments.

Due to the sensitivity and complexity of having to undertake many of our education projects within fully operational ‘live’ environments, we fully utilise our 3D modelling capabilities to plan our works in significant detail. This ensures the project is delivered with minimal impact and disruption to the day-to-day activities at the school or university.
